Even though my calendar says Valentine’s Day, it’s Thanksgiving this week on Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce. Abby and her crew are giving me a lot to be thankful for. In an effort to give back to my current favorite show (and as a hat tip to my favorite holiday), my list is Thanksgiving-themed this week.

Here are five reasons why I am thankful for Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce—not just in February, but always.

Abby and Will

I am a happier person because Will exists. Seriously, this guy is almost too much to even deal with, and there were a few times this week when I just wanted to eat him all the way up. I’m not an envious person by nature, but I would push Abby down a flight of stairs for the opportunity to take her place in that bedroom scene. Not only is Will desperately good-looking, but he doesn’t want anybody else but Abby. He likes her face, and he’s apparently really good with poultry. Like Abby says, “Swoon.”

The GG2D writers really know their audience, and those few minutes with the two of them rolling around the bed together is about as close to a realized fantasy as you can get. They have essentially made Will the perfect human male, and the fact that he gets lines like, “I’ve been your boyfriend since I first laid eyes on you. You just didn’t know it,” makes him completely irresistible. Undies were spontaneously combusting all over America tonight. Thanks, GG2D.

Just Jo

I am just generally glad that Jo came to the GG2D universe, because most of the time, she deserves far fewer eye rolls than the rest of the girlfriends. I love her even more tonight because she thwarts what was surely going to be the most pretentious Thanksgiving dinner ever. I adore that she called Abby and Phoebe out on their snobbishness. I’ll take a white-trash Thanksgiving any day.

Jo is a woman after my own heart, and if you want some real talk, she she’s your girl. She practically saved dinner with her ghost theories and wine-fueled shenanigans. Dinner went from mildly uncomfortable to horribly awkward, and Jo was our only relief. When Jake and Will are having words about American exceptionalism; when Delia’s father calls them all assholes; when Marco wants to weigh in on revisionist history—it’s Jo’s drunken antics that keeps them all from killing each other. I’m not sure I could have made it through without her.

But that seance, though. Who doesn’t love a good cleansing, meant to exorcise the ghost of a cheating husband? Jo, although drunk, knows how to lighten a mood, and I think everybody overreacted a little when the smudging went wrong. Nothing caught fire, did it? (Looking at you, Jake!)

Charlie and Chad

Charlie invites Chad to Thanksgiving after getting the news that Abby invited Will (it’s purely coincidental, though). Chad acts like a real asshole, urging Charlie to throw a tantrum. (Although in his defense, it was a pretty mild one. I’ve had to drag my son out of a Target when he went boneless, yelling the whole way, “GET UP RIGHT NOW! GET UP!!!!” So, it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.)

It’s also Chad’s fault when Charlie makes a terrible first impression with Will, kicking him hard in the shin. Will is understanding about it, of course. (Because remember? He’s the perfect man.) But Chad is just so full of mischief. Even when Abby tries to pull out Charlie’s feelings about the matter, Chad isn’t having it. Charlie says Chad “just wants to party.” So yeah: Chill out, Abby. I don’t feel so bad now about locking myself in the bathroom last Thanksgiving just so I wouldn’t have to hear my teenage daughter complain about having to peel eggs. I ‘preciate ya, GG2D.

Marco and Phoebe

These two are so adorable, I want to poke my own eyes out. I am smitten with these two because they remind me of those first golden moments before things get ruined in a relationship. Before you have to deal with sexual politics and overwrought feelings. This whole flirty-flirty between them is incredibly endearing, but it’s when they get real with each other that makes me glad to have them around. When Marco loses the too-serious-about-life bit long enough to make a joke about Phoebe’s age-inappropriate, Coachella-inspired outfit, the results are a new, charming chemistry between them.

I happen to think there is more than just sexual tension, though. We surely can’t dismiss that chat in Phoebe’s car (or that kiss). Those few minutes revealed more about Marco and Phoebe than we’ve learned the whole season, and the revelation that Phoebe lost a brother to addiction, and that Marco is in recovery himself, just might be the thing that makes their relationship transcend all the silliness we’ve had to endure from her character so far. Marco brings out another dimension to Phoebe. I am beyond glad I don’t have to endure another three-way situation from her (for now).

Jake and Abby

I’ll never give up hope. Ever. You can’t make me. The GG2D writers are a bunch of teases when it comes to these two. The best part of the entire episode is the sweet exchange between Jake and Abby after dinner. Abby is crying, and Jake reaches up and wipes her tears away. Talk about “swoon”! I can’t even. How can you want anything but reconciliation when Jake is promising to always be family, and Abby is sad he’s left out at dinner? Just the hint of a reunion pleases me beyond reason. I know I probably sound contradictory by shipping Jake and Abby while lusting after Will. Feel free to write me an angry letter, but I won’t apologize. I want Jake and Abby back together, and I am certainly happy I was thrown a bone this week.
